AVOID RISK IH BUYING PAINT.
Ton take a good deal of risk if you
buy white lead without having abso
lute assurance as to its purity and
auallty. You know white lead is of
ten adulterated, of ten misrepresented.
But there's no need at all to take
any chances. The "Dutch Boy Paint
er" trade mark of the National Lead
Company, the largest makers of gen
uine white lead, on a package o"
White ' Lead, is a positive guarantee
of purity and quality. It's as depend
able as the Dollar Sign, lt you'll

they will send you a simple and cer
tain outfit for testing white lead, and
a valuable book on paint, free.

PLANT YOUR WASTE LAND
WITH TREES.
It May Mean a College Education for
Your Son.
Planting your waste land with trees
may mean a college education for your
" son, a wedding trousseau for your lit
; tie daughter, and something for your
iVjjold age, says George Wilder, in the
October Delineator.
There is hardly a farm in this coun
try that has not some waste land. If
there is, it isn't in good old New Eng
land! By waste land is meant land
practically" useless to the farmer
land that is looked upon as worth lit
tle or nothing. In almost all cases
it could be and should be made a
-source of revenue.
Today that land is useless, practi
- cally valueless. Seeded ,to pine, forty
years from now, when some son, yet
to be born, may be twenty years of
age, it may b? covered with timber
and worth approximately from two
hundred to two hundred and fifty dol
lars an acre. This estimate of value
is based on the returns from pines
forty years old and harvested now;
while, if the recent tremendous in
crease in timber prices continues thro '
four more decades, the returns from
seeds planted^ at this time will be
something enormously greater.
There are scientific ways of start
ing a pine wood and there are easy
. ways. Both begin along the same
course, the gathering of the seed. It
takes two years for white pine seeds
to grow.. They must be gathered from
the trees just before the cones open
in their second year. In New Eng
land this is from the end of August
to the middle of September. Th?
small cones, about a half-inch in
length, that are now on the trees will
? be the ripe cones of the ensuing year.
Cones which are" three or four inches
in length now will be ripe this fall.
Much more can be told about this
fruhject than this amateur planter
knows. The Forest Service of the
Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington is only too glod to give you
?ll kinds of information. If you buy
len dollars will buy three or four
pounds of seed. Three acres, forty
years from now, may well be worth
four thousand dollars. Think of it!
~sn:t it worth while to do it for your
ld age or for those who may come
i*i'ttr you? And isn't it better yet
to get your small boy to do it ?
Forty years seems a long time to
wait to get the return from any effort
-forty seems too long for some peo
ple-but nothing worth accomplish
ing is ever accomplished in a moment
and he who builds for tomorrow a
far-off tomorrow, is he who really
builds.

' AFRAID TO EAT ,
Girl Starving on Ill-Selected Food.
"Several years ago I was actually
starving," writes a Me. girl, "yet
dared not eat fdr fear of the conse
quences.
"I had suffered from indigestion
from overwork, irregular meals and
/ improper food, until at last my
stomach became so weak I could eat
scarcely any food without great dis
tress.
"Many kinds of food were tried,
all with the same discouraging ef
fects. I steadily lost health and
strength until I was but a wreck of
ray former self.
"Having heard of Grape-Nuts and
. its great merits, I purchased a pack
ago, but with little hope that it would
help me-I was so discouraged.
"I found it not only appetizing but
that I could, eat it as I liked and that
lt satisfied the craving for food with
out causing distress, and if I may use
the expression, 'it filled the bill.'
"For months Grape-Nuts was my
principal article of diet. I felt from
the very first that I had found the
right way to health and happiness,"
and my ^anticipations were fully
realizsd.
"With its continued use I regained
ny usual health and strength. To
day I am well and can eat anything
I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a
rari of ray bill of fare." "There's a

Georgia Rids Herself of Cruel
. System of Long Standing
WORK OF SPECIAL LEGISLATURE
Governor Smith Signs Bill Which
Ends a Regime of Corruption and
Great Brutality in the Cracker
State.
Atlanta, Ga., Special.-Just at mid
night Saturday night Governor Hoke
Smith signed the convict lease bill
which hereafter prohibits the leasing
pf felons except hy the consent of
the Governor and prison commission.
The bill was passed by the Legis
lature Saturday after $35,000 had
been spent in an ' extra session, and
nearly a month used m discussing
the legislation. With the signature
of Govenor Smith on the bill as en
grossed, Georgia has done away with
a system which has been in exist
ence ever since 18C5.
It was to settle this convict lease
question that Governor Smith called
i special session of the Legislature.
Ee desired that the lease system he
absolutely abolished and the bill as
passed provides that there will be no
leasing of convicts to any contractor
for private gain. It is said these con
ractors have made thousands of dol
lars out of convict labor in Georgia
in the last forty years, men being
leased to them at $100 a piece with
the proviso of board and sleeping
juarters.
In the investigation which led to
ihe present legislation there was con
siderable testimony to the effect that
negro convicts had been whipped by
overseers, that in several cases the
abuse had resulted in the d?ath of
men under the control of the lessee.
When the Georgia Legilature as
sembled a month ago to consider th?
question of convict labor, Governor
Smith announced that he desired all
traces of the lease sysem to be erad
icated. The House and Senate disa
greed as to how this should be ac
2omplished. The Senate insisted that
there should be no leasing after
March 31 next. The House wanted
he lease system extended to 1911.
Finally, however, House "and Senate
compremised oh a measure which
permits the use by- the State of any
3onvicts not used on State roads, nor
by municipalities, nor in State insti-'
tutions. These men may be used as
the prison commission and Governor
sees fit, but as a close friend of Gov
ernor Smith said when it was sug
gested this provision might have
a "joker." "Governor Smith, you
may be sure, is totally opposed to
leasing convicts to private individ
uals and: will never consent to- any
leases of this kind. The lease system
is dead."
Watchman Killed hy* Bohh?r.
Durham, Special.-The dead body

POSTAL BANKS FAVORED
Proposition to Establish Postal Sav
ings Banks Will he Considered hy
the National Association of Post
masters at Theil Convention in
Chattanooga.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Special.-Dis
cussion of postal savings banks and
parcels post will occupy the attention
of thc National Association of Post
masters of First Class Offices during
the convention opened in this city
Thursday. Postmaster General Geo.
Von L. Myer and several of his sub
ordinates from Washington, with
postmasters from nearly all of the
larger cities of the country will take
part in the consideration of these
vital topics.
Postmaster General Myer has gone
on record as favoring both projects
and will renew his recommendations
for their adoption in his next annual
report to the President and Congress.
The postal savings bank proposit
ion, in its modified form, will limit
deposits to small amounts, thus mak
ing the? system practically an auxili
ary and feeder for national and. State
banks. Opinion among the visiting
postmasters as to the parcels post
system is divided, but a majority
favor the plan. Friends of the meas
ure declare that nothing now pre
vents the establishments of a parcels
post but' the influence of the express
compames.
In the matter of back-stamping the
day and hour of arrival of letters,
the postmasters are generally agreed
that the plan should be continued.
The practice was discontinued ? in
New -York, but the postmaster of
that city reports that numerous com
plaints have been made by patrons.
Lawyers and big commercial con
cerns have urged that the practice of
back-stamping be resumed, as the
back-stamp is sometimes highly im-*
portant in the trial of cases by law.
Spec*' liar Attempt at Murder and
Suicide.
. .phis, Tenn., Special.-A spec
tacular attempt at murder and suicide
occurred at the crowded corner ot
Monroe and Third streets at 6 o'clock
Monday night when Mose Cook, ^5
years old, an insurance clerk, shot
three bullets into his wife and at
tempted to kill himself. With the
revolver in his mouth and repeatedly
pulling the trigger, his life was saved
only hy the fact that all of the cart
ridges had been exploded. The man
ooly started to reload the weapon
V7h ;n a bystander seized a club and
felled him to the pavement. The wo
man -was taken to the hospital.
The British Ambassador.
London, By Cable.-James Bryce's
retirement from Washington is ex
pected here to speedily follow the in
auguration of President Roosevelt's
successor. That Lord Desborough will
succeed to the Washington post is
considered a foregone conclusion. Mr.
Bryce is known to have accepted the
post with the proviso that he was free
to resign as soon.as the recently sign
ed arbitration treaties with the Unit
ed States were concluded. Des
borough is 53 years old, a - multi
millionaire, and has had some ex
perience in public life.
More Troops for Mexican Border.
Galveston, Special.-Rush orders
for more troops on the Mexican bor
der have been received from General
Meyer, of the United States army,
who is investigating conditions. Three
troops of calvary are now in service
along tne Rio Grande and more go
forward. Several companies of Mex
ican troops are on the Mexican side
of the river. Ten Mexicans earn
ing arms were arrested while trying
to cross the river into Mexico. They
are believed to be revolutionists,
though they said they were pursu
ing a gang of horse thieves.
Six Hundred People Homeless.
Saco, Maine, Special.-Six hun
dred people are rendered homeless
and a half million damage is done to
property. Eighty-five tenement
houses and nine million feet of lum-^
ber were consumed in a fire that
swept this cit}'. It originated in a
lumber yard and a high wind caused
a rapid spread of the. flames. Thc
damage would have been much great
er had not help arrived from Bidde
ford. There were many thrilling
escapes from death. The flames were
subdued at noon.
Fleet Nears Albany.
Melbourne, By Cable.-Dispatches

tance of about l.SOO miles. Albany
is a village of less than 5,000 souls
and the entertainment of the tars

Absconding Italian Banker on Trial.
New York, Special.-Pasquale Ca
ponigri, charged with absconding
nearly two years ago, owing deposi
tors in his bank more than $100,000,

LYCEUM IN PARIS.
Frenchwomen are not clubable; the

Nevertheless, the Lyceum Francais,

other well known Frenchwomen, is
having a very successful start. It is
just fairly settled in its home, a
splendid house in the Rue de la

reading room are said to be worth
a visit in themselves. English and
American literary and artistic wom

Gets Nomination For a Second
Term as Governor of N. Y.
HE GOES IN BY ACCLAMATION
After the Utter Failure of the
County Leaders to Discover An
other Candidate Upon Whom They
Could Unite, the Republicans of
New fork Nominate Governor
Hughes to Succeed Himself.
Saratoga, N. Y., Special.-Charles
Evans Hughes, of New York, was
nominated by the Republican State
convention by an overwhelming ma
jority and on the first ballot, to suc
ceed himself as Governor of the State
of New York, fie received 827
votes out of a possible 1,009, a's
against 151 for James W. Wadsworth
Jr., of Livingstone county, Speaker
of the State Assembly, and 31 for
former Congressman John K. Stew
art, cf .Montgomery.
The nomination was made unani
mous upon motion of State Com
mitteeman William Barnes, Jr., of
Albany, who has .been perhaps the
bitterest and most outspoken op
ponent of the Governor's renomina
tion.
The Governor's renomination fol
lowed the utter failure of a desperate
struggle on the part of a number' c4
the county leadeis, who for four
days have spared no effort to dis
cover a candidate upon whom they
could unite to defeat him.
The balance of ' the ticket was
made as an.organization "slate" an
nounced an hour or more before f
session of the convention began,
Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of
the State committee.
Senator White, who was chosen as
a candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
was in the "running" for the Gov
ernorship until the early afternoon,
when he requested his friends not to
present his name.
It was the 1S3 votes of all but one
district in New York county that
carried the Governor's total beyond
the 505, a majority of the convention
required to nominate.
The nine votes of Nassau county
had brought the Hughes total to 395.
Amid the brethless hush the secre
tary of the convention called "New
York," * .
Herbert Parsons, president of the
New York county Republican general
convention, rose in his. place and said
dramatically:
"New Yo-k county, second as
sembly district, gives four for Wads
worth, the balance of the county, 1S3
for Charles Evans Hughes."
A thousand pencils in two seconds
had footed the Hughes total to 578.
and every person in the great hall
knew that the battle was over, and
the place was instantly a bedlam of
cheering.
Hardly less sensational had been
the moment when State Chairman
Woodruff delivered to Hughes, in
spite of a general expectation to the
contrary, the entire vote for King's
county, 138, bringing the Governor's
total to 342, for Woodruff had been
avowedly opposed to the Governor's
renomination. It was really thc
action of King's which signalized
what might be called "the stampede
to Hughes" and when its 13S votes
were cast in a block for the Governor
any remaining doubt of his nomina
tion was swept away.
Governor Hughes Expresses His Ap
predation.
Rochester. N. Y., Special.-"l am
deeply sensible of the honor con
ferred upon me. I wish to express
my appreciation of the confidence
reposed in me by the Republican
party."
Thus did Governor Hughes make
his first public statement after his
notification of renomination for Gov
ernor of New York State. Beyond
that the Governor would say nothing,
either as to his running mate on the
Republican ticket or his policies for
the second term, should he be elected.
Governor Hughes passed through
Rochester early that night bound
from Warsaw to Albany.
Granted New Trial
Staunton, Va., Special.-The Vir
ginia Supreme Court of Appeals at
Staunton granted new trials to the
negroes, Burton and Conquest, con
victed here upon a change of venue
in the Onancock race riot cases and

tiary. This is the second time that
these cases have been before the Su
preme Court. The defendants were
first convicted in Accomac county and
given heavv penitentiary sentence.
They appealed and these sentences
were set aside with the cases trans
ferred to Norfolk.
Mad Dog Causes Trouble.
Spartanburg, S. C., Special.-A
mad dog ran amuck in the streets
here Tuesday afternoon doing consid
arable damage before it was killed.
The animal attacked J. P. Hertzog,
a -well known contractor, and inflict
ed a slight wound on his leg. Thc
dog alr.o bit a colored nurse and then
attacked a pair of mules hitched to
.the strct sprinkler, biting one of the
mules on the lip.

OCTOBER IS THE BEST TIME TO
START A GARDEN.
Work in the Fall Means a Long and
Glorious Season Nest Year.
In October, when leaves and flowers
are dying, when Nature is closing ^ev
eyes for her long sleep, it is only those
of experience who cry: "This is thc
best time to start a garden."
There is always a setback to a gar
den started ir* the spring, because it
is -lot long enough from tb*? +ime
growth begins until the hour of bfoom
to give many plants their full chance
to expand before sending forth their
flowers. A plant must almost reach
maturity before it blooms, which in
deed it only does that it may form seed
and thus perpetuate itself to poster
ity. To start a garden early is often
the secret of success.
By preparing the beds and borders
in the autumn, discing them ont about
two feet deep, placing inverted sod
in the bottom and finally fillinsr them
up with layers of manure, light soil
and top-dressing, much time is saved
in the spring, when the irresistible
not-a-minute-lOrl?se feeling is in the
air. Besides, there is something about
a well-settled bed that flowers like
better than one that is quite new. If
in the spring these autumn-prepared
beds require extra mulching or' ferti
lizing, it is a matter that is very eas
ily attended to.
When the beds and borders are
made, the garden should bc cleared of
all surplus material. The roots of
strong weeds should be*lifted, and a
light dressing of manure spread over
the places that are destined to be lawn
thc following spring.-The October
